Scrubgrass Power Plant

Scrubgrass Power Generating Company
Ventigo County, Pennsylvania

Click Image to EnlargeFor Scrubgrass Power Generating Company, Roberts & Schaefer provided engineering, procurement, and construction of a limestone storage and reclaim and processing facility in Ventigo County, Pennsylvania. Limits on on-site work required major off-site pre-assembly and fabrication. Despite these constraints, R&S completed the project in about 14 months, from the day of award to mill commissioning.

R&S supplied an enclosed limestone dump barn, designed to handle both rear dump and bottom dump units. Limestone is stored in 30-ton hoppers, fitted with a protective grizzly and a manual shutoff gate, and reclaimed at 80 TPH by a vibrating feeder. The feeder discharges into a bucket elevator for delivery to the 100-ton storage bin.

The surge bin is fitted with twin discharge outlets, each of which has a manual cutoff gate. Each outlet has a 30 TPH vibrating mill feeder to reclaim the 1.75 inch x 0 limestone to 30 TPH Bradley air swept mills. Each Bradley has air locks and rotary vane feeders. The secondary bag houses are also independent, and each cyclone has a bag house. The product from the two cyclones and the two bag houses collects in a common pneumatic line, which runs along the existing conveyor route to the boiler block. From there, it moves to the limestone storage silo.

R&S provided a fugitive dust collection system at the dump bin crushing station and at the storage silo. R&S also installed all electrical facilities and tie-in to the owner's DCS system.
